MARRAKECH DESERT TOURS TO MERZOUGA 3 DAYS

Description

We move on the same gentle, effortless pace as our camel caravan, either riding the African camels (dromedaries) or enjoying the hot sand under our bare feet. Our guides learned how to live with this beautiful yet savage area thousands of years ago and are completely at one with the endless sands of the Sahara desert. On this shared group desert tour Marrakech your profound desires are launched and your dream fantasies come to life. Since ancient times, Sahara has been deep in our thoughts and in the dreams of all human beings. Mysticism and exotic blend into a unique form of nature: the sand dunes of Merzouga welcome you.
